What happened and what to do

Published on July 10, 2024, the project aims to build a fully open-source computing system with an FPGA implementing a 64-bit RISC-V computer. The proposal is to run Linux and host its own development; engineers can explore changes to the CPU, memory hierarchy, instruction set, and software stack.

A company evaluating open hardware could implement a pilot to compile and run real workloads, track compatibility and performance, and record platform changes. Adoption decisions could then draw on reproducible hardware and software tests, without assuming the architecture fits every use case.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can diagnose the requirements and risks of the evaluation, define a hardware and software validation scope, and implement and operate the needed tests and monitoring.
